Newsletter—July, 2008

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM DR. ELLEN CUTLER!

Dear BioSET® practioners and BioSET® patients,

I am very pleased to launch this revised website. I hope it will be more useful and easier to navigate, as well as continue to provide up-to-date seminar information, product guide, the complete BioSET® referral list, and a bimonthly newsletter from me.

As you might now be aware, I have completely taken over the BioSET® enterprise and have brought in a wonderful team to support my work to efficiently and ethically serve the practitioner, patient, and the public at-large. This includes distributing the BioSET® enzymes, which are the only complete full spectrum vegetarian enzyme line that provides the only real source for outstanding results with the BioSET® technique. These new, improved enzymes are the only acceptable supplements to be used for BioSET® .

My re-formed BioSET® company is not associated with Frank Guzzo, Enzymes Inc, Empire Health, or Lynn Greaves. Earlier this month, I wrote about their dishonest business practices and their creation of a competitive product that is animal based. I had no choice but to separate myself from them in order to maintain a high caliber health care system. It is imperative to note that neither of these individuals has the knowledge to create, advance, or contribute to my health care technique. They cannot provide my accepted standard of service for BioSET® practitioners. Because I will not be working with them, Enzymes Inc, Empire Health, Frank Guzzo, and Lynn Greaves will not have precise referral structures or up-to-date information from my research. They will no longer be assisting with teaching, advancing, or growing BioSET®.

My BioSET® company receives numerous calls for information about BioSET® and responds to patients looking for a referral for a BioSET® practitioner. This list of practitioners will be made up of only those practitioners that are using BioSET® products approved by Dr. Cutler.

The BioSET® standard is to provide completely vegetarian enzymes. We will not compromise this promise.

I am not only the originator of BioSET®, but also a BioSET® practitioner and I want the best for my patients. Please join me in making BioSET® the great energy medicine technique that we all know it is.

PRODUCTS

Our BioSET® products have been improved. See the product guide on the website, or call Raina, or Janie at: 1-877-BioSET (1-877-246-7381). We now have the best, highly clinically proven protease (protease Bio-E) on the market. It serves as an anti-inflammatory and is gentle on the GI tract. And more exciting enzyme changes are on the horizon.

Notice that our enzymes have the Kosher seal.

Please attend a BioSET® advanced seminar, or if you need training with the basics, join us at a basic or iIntermediate seminar. Practitioners who want to remain on our referral list must attend an advanced or basic seminar once a year.

Clinical Information for BioSET® Protocol

The BioSET® protocol is based on the integration of detoxification, enzyme therapy, and a desensitization process. The desensitization protocol is critical for most patients. The level 1 and 2 of BioSET® desensitization emphasizes the clearing of vitamins and minerals. I wanted to include a refresher with a brief overview of each vitamin, so you can again see why these are crucial in our beginning clearings with our patients. More information is included in Dr. Cutler's books, especially The Food Allergy Cure. But here are some nifty tidbits for you. Feel free to print out and read and have handy for your clinical practice.

Fat soluble vitamins. (A,D,E, and K )

Vitamin A

1. Important vitamin for vision, night and day.
2. Spermatogenesis
3. Wound healing and normal growth

Causes of deficiency:

Most common cause is malabsorption and BioSET® feels sensitivity may contribute to this deficiency.

1. Liver disease
2. Diets lacking in beta carotene- due to decreased intake in green vegetables.
3. Some drugs can interfere with the absorption of vitamin A.

Symptoms of vitamin A deficiency:

1. Night blindness
2. A softening of the cornea which and result in ulcers, infection and possibly blindness.
3. It can also be associated with lung cancer
4. Poor wound healing
5. Stunting of growth especially in the growth plate of bone formation.

Vitamin D

Functions of Vitamin D

1. Reabsorption of calcium and phosphorus for mineralization of cartilage and bone.
2. Establishes high solubility product.

Deficiency of Vitamin D3.

1. Hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia
2. Poor solubility for bone mineralization
3. Rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults
4. Important for strong healthy teeth in children
5. Osteomalacia and rickets are also effectively prevented and treated through adequate vitamin D supplementation.
6. Vitamin D also has a part in cancer prevention, at least for colon cancer. A deficiency increases the risk of this type of cancer.
7. Many older adults are deficient in vitamin D. This can affect hearing by causing poor function of the small bones in the ear that transmit sound. If this is the cause of the hearing loss, it is possible that supplementation of vitamin D can act to reverse the situation.

Sources:

1. Sunlight is the most important. Are you getting enough sunlight? Go for a walk each day. Even if it is cloudy, we still get those rays. I like to park further away so I can walk and absorb those rays.
2. Diet. (See The Food Allergy Cure ) for more information on what foods provide the best source of Vitamin D.

Metabolism:

• 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin is converted to vitamin D3 and is hydroxylated in the liver to 25-(OH)-D3 (cholecalciferol or calcidiol).
• Both skin and diet derived vitamin D is hydroxylated in the liver to 25-(OH)-D3 (cholecalciferol or calcidiol).
• 25-(OH)-D3 undergoes second hydroxylation (1 alpha hydroxylase) in the kidney to form 1, 25-(OH)2-D3 (calcitriol). Parathyroid hormone and hypophosphatemia enhance the conversion.

Causes of Vitamin D deficiency:

1. Chronic kidney failure
2. Poor diet: alcoholism especially and poor diet in the elderly
3. Malabsorption (celiac disease) sensitivity to vitamin D. poor absorption of food sources due to enzyme deficiency.
4. Drug inhibiting absorption and metabolism
5. Liver disease
6. Hyperparathyroidism/hyperphosphatemia: decreased 1-alpha hydroxylase synthesis
7. Genetic diseases : deficiency of vitamin D receptors in tissue

Vitamin E

Alpha tocopherol is the most active form.

Functions:

1. Antioxidant
2. It can prevent the free radical lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes.

Causes of Vitamin E deficiency :

1. Malabsorption due to sensitivity to vitamin E, and due to absence of apolipoprotein B.
2. Chronic fat malabsorption such as in cystic fibrosis.

Symptoms of deficiency of Vitamin E.

1. Peripheral neuropathy
2. Posterior column disease
3. Ataxia
4. Membrane defect causing hemolytic anemia
5. Decreases the synthesis of coagulation factors that are vitamin K dependent.

Vitamin K

Function:

1. Coagulation factors
2. Allows calcium to bind the vitamin K factor in formation of a clot

Sources of Vitamin K

K1. In plants is converted by colonic bacteria to less active K2

K2 must be reconverted back to K1 for function
Symptoms of deficiency

1. Bleeding and bruising
2. GI bleeding

Causes of vitamin K deficiency are a result of broad spectrum antibiotics that kills colonic bacteria and prevents absorption.  Chronic pancreatitis and bile salt deficiency is also implicated. 

Note:  Newborns have no colonic bacteria and there is very little vitamin K in breast milk, so therefore they need vitamin K injection at birth.

( Warfarin) Coumadin inhibits vitamin K function.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

Functions:

1. Collagen synthesis
2. Antioxidant
3. Synthesis of catecholamines
4. Important in preventing stomach cancer, as it prevents nitrosamination
5. Helps iron synthesis

Sources of Vitamin C

1. Citrus fruits
2. Green vegetables.

Causes of vitamin C deficiency are poor diet, and smoking as well as sensitivity to Vitamin C. This sensitivity is extremely common. More information is elaborated in my books.

Symptoms of deficiency of vitamin C

1. Poor wound healing, bruising, and bleeding gums after brushing.
2. Periodontitis/loss of teeth :
3. Corkscrew hairs
4. Painful, red tongue
5. Anemia: iron and folate deficiency
6. An increase in bleeding time can occur.

The next newsletter will cover all the B vitamins( water soluble vitamins) and then the following newsletter will be the minerals and trace minerals. Other newsletter topics for the year will feature detoxification, new advances in ADHD, BioSET® Food allergy updates, new advances in enzyme and case histories to share. Any topics or areas you would like me to expound upon, please feel free to email Janie.

Enzymes that increase the absorption, utilization, and replenishment of the following vitamins are:

• All the digestive enzymes:
• Sugar/starch digestion
• Digestion
• Fat Digestion
• Protein Digestion

And to help replenish vitamin C, BioSET® nose and throat is recommended.

Thank you for all your support, and your dedication to BioSET® and healing.

Love,
Dr. Ellen Cutler
